I hasten to add — I didn’t watch it on TV, we don’t receive ABC down here in NZ. My comments refer to the program as posted to the web (link is on this thread a couple few posts back).
Before even watching it I have to say that your points about the simulation being good would be more meaningful if it was presented to an audience who was interested in carrying instead of ABCs audience who are already predisposed to gun control.
I'm not sure you appreciate how deeply committed the major networks of America are to gun control. Having watched this issue closely since about 1980 and been a life member of the NRA since '86 I have seen nothing but propaganda from any of them. They hate America and all it stands for especially gun ownership.
